As many readers are aware, I have a fascination with psychology, human nature and what triggers our behaviours and patterns – especially the ones that do not serve us well. I am very familiar with EFT or the ‘tapping’ technique that helps individuals break bad habits and thought patterns. However, the other evening I was […]

Collette Walsh BBC Breakfast Diana Mathers has very kindly passed on this VT from last week’s chat on BBC Breakfast… this is the 7.50 am interiew – the 8.45am interview is also on my site too (I think it’s a bit better! We’d had a cuppa by then…)

Lots of fun earlier this week (Thursday) over at Selfridges (Exchange Square, Manchester) at a fashion show celebrating men’s swim and under-wear!

BT Live – Closing Ceremony Concert (12 August 2012) Could the Olympics 2012 get any better?? After what has been a fantastic festival of sport and all-round good-spiritedness… I now learn that after what was a superb Opening Ceremony (seriously, how amazing!!) that the Closing Ceremony promises to be a spectacular celebration of British creativity […]

(This article was originally published on Huffington Post) One of the best bits of last week’s Olympics opening ceremony was the homage to Britain’s musical heritage. The medley included, among a whole array of musical greats, the Beatles, the Sex Pistols, T-Rex, Bowie and quite rightly, some electro synth-pop too – OMD and New Order. […]
